A couple weeks ago my neighbor Anne convinced me to try her Yoga studio downtown above Duffy’s in downtown West Palm Beach. It’s hot yoga so right off I was reluctant. The instructor that day is a good friend of hers…but to be honest she’s a bit of a bitch. I’ve been doing Yoga for years and I normally just hold a piece of gum against the inside of my cheek while doing yoga so I don’t have to stop, get a drink of water and lose my breathing. I’m not chewing gum during class, it just keeps my mouth moist. She just said, “no, spit it out” and held her hand out. So, quite matter-of-factly I just spit it out in her hand. Then the entire class she went on and about letting go of anger, etc and just would not shut the fuck up and let us enjoy our yoga practice. Like a passive aggressive tone throughout the entire class aimed at me. The class itself wasn’t even close to challenging and the only hard part was getting past the heat in the room and putting up with her tone. Needless to say I’m not going back. Here’s...

Last Monday my New iPad arrived in the mail! My office in Seattle had an incentive for January for my development team and we killed it so I was sitting in anticipation for a few months to get my hands on it. So far I’m completely loving it. I can control my TV and my laptop from it as well has hundreds of other fun things. It is more like a toy so I’d never spend the money to get one (unless for some reason I was wealthy). Thanks to Sesame for getting this for me, it’s awesome!...

At around 4:45 yesterday I checked the Palm Beach live surf cam in the hopes that maybe there was some swell in the water and got a great surprise! Perfect day to head out and catch some waves. Loaded the long board up and booked it to the beach. Perfect 3-5ft refraction swell with beautiful spray from offshore winds. The air temperature was a bit chilly but the water was warm. The long board was the perfect board to catch the wave but it broke a little fast for any long rides down the shoulder. As always it was sooo...

Pretty much sums it up… Simply have to watch this video if you’re in your mid 30′s....

So yesterday was a tough day for little Bishop. 5 months and 5 days old today and yesterday he got his little balls removed. He was really out of it last night and just wanted to sleep, probably from the medication. Today he’s on antibiotics and pain killers/anti-inflamitories. His appetite is good and aside from really not enjoying the Cone of Shame he’s doing really great. I let him sleep in the cage last night and there he stayed until around 4am this morning when he came to and wanted his Daddy. So for the rest of the morning he...

Finally after many months of not surfing I was able to take some time and get back in the water yesterday…and man did if feel good to catch some waves. I’ve been going through some shit lately and I really needed to take some time and enjoy living close to the beach again. Of course it’s always a mission to get the board to the beach without a car but the bicycle works just fine. Yesterday’s surf was a little soft but I’ll take 2-4 ft. any day as long as it’s lining up and rideable....

Yesterday was Bishop’s last day of being couped up my house, unable to go outside and see the world. He finally got his last round of puppy shots so he’s good to go and I can finally start the outdoor potty training. He’s so excited! ‘Absolutely loves going outside and after a full day not one accident. He’s even picked up the “Shake” command without too much trouble. I love this little guy! I actually got bored over the weekend and set up a Twitter page for Bishop. Eh, why not? Follow him here...

This little guy is constantly keeping a smile on my face. We’ve had our rough patches but I think we’re back on track for training, etc. So far he’s got “sit” and “come” down. Lately I’ve been working on “get busy”, which is a command to go to the bathroom. Usually if I say it and there’s a pee pad in the same room he’ll go pee which is great. Now if I could get him to do #2 when I say it, that would be awesome. I know this is going to sound disgusting but lately he’s been eating...

So this is my new little boy. He’s now 4 months old, born November 16, 2011. He’s a little hellian but he keeps a smile on my face half of the day. He’s a snuggler, not a licker like Winston his older brother....
